The sand was everywhere. Red, silty and windblown into every crevice of everything. But as gritty as it felt against our dry dusted skin, we were psyched to be there.

Hey Guys! Sadly, Renan and I have been crazy busy this year with projects that haven't made it here to the blog, but I'm psyched to present this piece about John Cardwell that I cut for Five Ten. This is my attempt at going beyond pure climbing porn and showing John's lifestyle and character, as well as some sick v13 bouldering gnar! Hope you enjoy it!! CEDAR.
